After two days of reading and way testing, the answer is that frozen vegetables can work well, if you use them correctly. Some results can be surprisingly bits.
Here's how I got the most out of them:
Go for quality Today's individually quick-frozen technology has replaced the old blocks of vegetables frozen in added mollify. Now it's easy to cut open a bag, pour out what you need and return the be situated to the freezer.
Just don't wait too long to put it back in the cold. Thawing can come about pretty fast, and when it does, you lose flavor, feel and nutrition, and you put food safety at risk. Freezing does not always finish off bacteria, and cooking does not necessarily destroy any toxins.
In factors, when you're grabbing a bag at the store, feel for big lumps. If you find them, go for a bag that doesn't have them. Also tone for lots of "snow" inside the bag. Lumps and accumulated frost are signs that the produce suffered some kind of thaw and was refrozen, or is simply old.
The FoodSaver works best with foods that are solid enough that they don't collapse when they're sealed in the bag, although some softer foods can be pre-frozen and then vacuum-packed. It's also a great way to preserve fresh vegetables that are going to be frozen. I haven't had much experience using it to preserve fresh vegetables or herbs in the fridge, and I'd probably use the OSO Fresh Food Storage Containers for that.
I use my foodsaver much like you do. I learned about using a folded paper towel at the top of the wetter foods as a barrier so liquids aren't sucked up into the machine, but are sucked into the paper towel. It just freezes with the rest of the food. I have to do that with ground turkey. I also learned about freezing chili (or soup or stew) in an open bag first, and then sealing it once it's frozen. I now buy rolls of generic bag plastic through ebay - for a fraction of the cost of foodsaver bags or rolls.
I love my FoodSaver, too! I love going to the bulk food stores like Sam's and buying massive quantities of EVERYTHING and then parceling it all down into packages that work for my family and freezing or refrigerating them. I did that this week, actually, which almost guarantees that I will now lose power in this stupid ice storm that's blowing in, but c'est la vie. Viva le FoodSaver!
I love that so many other people also love this machine. Thanks for the tips on how to prevent juices getting sucked in. I have the older "low tech" version, so I do put a paper towel in there sometimes. It also helps to keep things in their original package (cut the package in pieces if necessary) and put it in the bag so an open end of the package faces the end of the FoodSaver bag.
